The FSR Fantasy League has yet another new round winner! Benjamin Chong, from the USA, had only secured a top 10 result once, at last season's Hungarian round. A year later and at the same venue, he has taken Team Chong to victory with 84 points. The winning team consisted of podium finishers Jack Keithley and Morgan Morand, together with the local duo of Gergo Baldi and Zoltan Csuti. Team Chong did not feature race winner Bono Huis. Last round's winner, David Dominguez, from Spain, was 2nd on 74 points, while Bulgaria's Todor Pangev was 3rd with the same score, but a slightly more expensive team.

Returning to the top 10 this round, Switzerland's Franz Schnyder continues at the top of the standings on 364 points. He's currently leading the battle for the Thrustmaster Y-250C Gaming Headset from David Dominguez, who remains 2nd on 358 points. Mikko Puumalainen has moved up to 3rd with 336 points, dropping Ondrej Kuncman to 4th place.

Benjamin Chong joins Ondrej Kuncman, Franz Schnyder, Javier Álvarez, Wim van Velden and David Dominguez as a contender for the other Thrustmaster Y-250C Gaming Headset that will be drawn among all round winners at the end of the season.

Driver Results & Costs

In a race with several post-race penalties, race winner Bono Huis was the round's top Fantasy scorer with 31 points, far from the 52 he achieved with his hat-trick performance in the previous round. 2nd-place finisher Jack Keithley was the 2nd top-scorer on 28 points, while 3rd-place finisher Morgan Morand clinched Pole Position from Huis by an incredible 0.001s to become the 3rd top scorer with 27 Fantasy points.

Drivers' market costs were updated. Samuel Libeert (+800$) and Rob van Starkenburg (+500$) were the drivers who climbed the costs ladder the most. Remember that the drivers that you already have on your team will continue to cost you what they did when you included them on your lineup.
